New Breed, New Blood

Premise

The Newbury Commission, a vampire hunting organisation in late 19th-century Edinburgh, thought they were making progress against the undead menace. But now the community is ravaged by a new breed — that lead a double life as humans unaware of their monstrous nature.

Tone

Dark, dramatic, bitter humour.

Conventions

Drama is king: Anything built up can be torn down for the good of the story.

Steampunk: The world is grim, but steam-powered technology and strange science works like in early sci-fi.

Challenge clichés: Traditional vampire explanations are broken by the new breed, and need new thinking to overcome, not lynch mobs.
